英语发音中的连读和加音现象

英语发音中的连读和加音现象

连读的条件

相邻的两词在意义上必须密切相关，同属一个意群。连读所构成的音节一般都不重读，只需顺其自然地一带而过，不可读得太重，也不可吞音。(连读符号：~)

连读现象只出现在意群内部，意群与意群之间的两个相邻单词即使符合上面所讲的两个条件，也不连读。如：I hope it\'ll get a little warmer. 这个句子中的hope it就不连读为/hupit/，因为主句I hope是一个意群，后面的从句是另一个意群。

(1)“辅音+元音”型连读

在同一个意群里，如果相邻两词中的前一个词是以辅音结尾，后一个词是以元音开头，这就要将辅音与元音拼起来连读。

I’m an English boy.

It is an old book.

Let me have a look at it.

Ms Black worked in an office last~yesterday.

I called you half an hour ago.

Put it on, please.

Not at all.

Please pick it up.

(2)“r/re+元音”型连读

如果前一个词是以-r或者-re结尾，后一个词是以元音开头，这时的r或re不但要发/r/，而且还要与后面的元音拼起来连读。有两种，一种是前一个单词最后一个字母为r，另一种是最后一个字母不为r，是intrusive r 例如the idea~ of

Over and over again r伦r re

She is going to major in English.

IS your hometown far away?

Don’t go out after eight.

There are nine all together.

They’re new to the work after all.

Where are you staying?

Peter isn’t here yet.

It’s going to clear up soon.

Both my father and mother are coming tonight.

They’ve been there for an hour.

The author is going to give a talk.

Did you see the car at the door?

Was Susanna in last night？

This is Beta Engineering.

Give me an example of Formula A.

注意：如果一个音节的前后都有字母r，即使后面的词以元音开头，也不能连读。

例如：The black clouds are coming nearer and nearer.（nearer与and不可连读）

(3)“辅音+半元音”型连读

英语语音中的/j/和/w/是半元音，如果前一个词是以辅音结尾，后一个词是以半元音，特别是/j/开头，此时也要连读。

Nice to meet you.

Did you get there late again?

Would you like a cup of tea？

Could you help me, please?

(4)“元音+元音”型连读此种连读不明显

如果前一个词以元音结尾，后一个词以元音开头，这两个音往往也要自然而不间断地连读到一起。这种连读不能把辅音w或者j发得太重，否则会显得很傻，但是不发这两个辅音的话又会很难念得顺口。元音音素与元音音素的连读发生的情况比较少,一般是[i:]或[u:]和其它元音音素的连读，同时伴随着音变。

如果前一个词是由元音[u]结尾，下一个词由元音开头，那么，在[u]后面加上一个辅音[w] 如果前一个词是由元音[i]结尾，下一个词由元音开头，那么，在[i]后面加上一个辅音[y] do (ｗ) any

Just do (ｗ) it.

see (ｊ) us

hurry (ｊ) up。

Go (w) away.

I (ｊ) am Chinese.

He (ｊ) is very friendly to me.

She wants to study (ｊ) English.

How (ｗ) and why did you come here?

She can’t carry (ｊ)it.

It’ll take you three (ｊ) hours to walk there.

The question is too (ｊ) easy for him to answer.

(5) 以辅音结尾的单词+ h开头的单词h不发音，与前面的辅音连读。

轻辅音[h]的连读,如果前一个单词以辅音音素结尾,后一个单词的读音以轻辅音音素[h]开头，语速较快时，h不发音

例如：

What wil(l he) do? [wili]

Ha(s he) done it before? [zi]

Mus(t he) go? [ti]

Should he….? [di]

Tell him to ask her…. [li]

Lea(ve him). [vim]

For him [rim] (连读这个词，会发现和forum 很相似)

(６)“辅音+ 辅音”型连读

辅音音素与辅音音素的连读发生的情况比较少,一般是[t][d]和[r][w][j]等的连读，注意发生的音变。

Part one.

You must remain in bed for two days.

David read the letter again and again.

(7)以ng结尾读[ｎ]的单词，如果后面紧跟以元音音素开头的单词，发生连读时，中间加一个音素[ｇ]。

ring him [rin gim] （辅音h又没了）
